They are looking for the highest possible count of sperm, 3 days is teh magic number. You can take a chance, you won;t get a false positive but you may get a false negative if the number is low.

2 days is fine, but 3 days is the best. Keep the appointment.
They told my husband 2 days for the first test and 3 days for the second. The extra day made a huge difference, but then again his is really low anyway.
Good Luck!

If you had sex this morning then he will be fine as long as he abstains from ejaculation between now and then.
If he does then you might as well reschedule because the results wont be accurate. He might get a low reading that will be false.

You still have plenty of time for an accurate sperm count, but obstain from sex from now until the test.
